ReleasePort's take
Light signalReleasePort Layer 1 v5.26.2 deprecates the AFK_MAX_TOKENS and maxTokens configuration options while introducing a new ask‑question PreToolUse gate in hooks, accompanied by an orphaned root‑settings warning.
Why it matters: Deprecation of AFK_MAX_TOKENS and maxTokens triggers configuration updates; the new PreToolUse question gate in hooks enforces explicit approval before tool execution, affecting hook workflows.

About Agent AFK
Coding-agent harness built for unattended, away-from-keyboard runs across four surfaces sharing one session manager: one-shot CLI, REPL, cron-friendly headless daemon, and a Telegram bot. Editable agent loop (prompts, permission gates, model routing, explicit terminal states), MCP (stdio/HTTP/SSE + OAuth), lifecycle hooks, background subagents, plan mode, cross-session memory, and an append-only trace receipt (`afk trace show`). Works with Anthropic and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (GPT, Codex, local MLX/llama.cpp/Ollama)
